We have developed a Ag@Au core-shell nanoparticle (NP)/iridium(III) complex-based sensing platform for the sensitive luminescence "turn-on" sensing of cyanide ions, an acutely toxic pollutant. The assay is based on the quenching effect of Ag@Au NPs on the emission of complex 1, but luminescence is restored after the addition of cyanide anions due to their ability to dissolve the Au shell. Our sensing platform exhibited a high sensitivity toward cyanide anions with a detection limit of 0.036 μM, and also showed high selectivity for cyanide over 10-fold excess amounts of other anions. The sensing platform was also successfully applied to monitor cyanide anions in drinking water and in living cells.
我们开发了一种基于 Ag@Au 核壳纳米粒子(NP)/铱(III)配合物的传感平台,用于灵敏的“开启”型对氰离子的荧光传感,氰离子是一种剧毒污染物。该测定法基于 Ag@Au NPs 对配合物 1 的发射的猝灭效应,但加入氰根阴离子后,由于其溶解 Au 壳的能力,荧光恢复。我们的传感平台对氰根阴离子表现出高灵敏度,检测限为 0.036 μM,并且对氰根阴离子的选择性也高于其他阴离子 10 倍以上。该传感平台还成功地应用于饮用水和活细胞中氰根阴离子的监测。
